Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.
Rishabh-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology
Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"We are a worldwide organization with a complex financial authorization matrix and when changes were made to this matrix, we provided automated test scripts and more than 20,000 tests were executed in 1 week."
"​Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"A key benefit, obviously, is in terms of effort savings that we have achieved using UFT."
"The most valuable features are the API testing, the integration with DevOps and accessibility to people without a lot of technical skill."
"It's simple to set up."
"As with any test automation tool, the ability to run repeatable tests unattended during off hours saves lots of manual testing hours."
"The solution’s AI capabilities cut down test creation time for mobile by at least 60 percent."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"Implementation of Oracle Application Testing Suite package has increased the overall efficiency."
"It has allowed more thorough testing with performance-based testing, in addition to regression testing and regular testing with each software release."
"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."
"It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"It looks like User Acceptance Testing of the product is getting bypassed entirely because this design has precedence in UFT."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"There were some issues with deployment and the integration into Solution Manager."
"Sometimes you need a little bit more, but then HP help us to find it as they're knowledgeable troubleshooters."
"Cost is the biggest issue with UFT. It is not cheap."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
"It does not provide easy diagnostics to ascertain end to end transaction monitoring."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."
"The tool runs out of memory when the recording flows are long and involve many screens despite increasing the memory settings for OpenScript."
"OATS has some promising features that frankly we wish we could utilize, but so far we haven’t had much luck doing so."
"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"The price is reasonable."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
